Oil vs Condensate vs Dry Gas in Eagle Ford Shale

General Mineral Rights Discussion
1

The Eagle Ford shale apparently has three zones - an "oil" zone, a "condensate" zone, and a "dry gas" zone.

From my very limited understanding, it appears that drilling in the dry gas zone is stallling due to the depressed price of natural gas.

It appears that drilling is still going - and even expanding - in the oil zone and the condensate zone.

Does anyone have any insight to the relative economics ($ value of monthly / annual production) of a well in the oil vs a well in the condensate zone?

I'm particularly interested in this topic in regards to the Karnes County portion of the Eagle Ford Shale.

Thanks in advance for any help and insight.

Go to the website "rbn energy"; you might have to sign up but that's it; begin viewing the past blogs on this site and note that there are several dealing with the Eagle Ford Shale. I am almost certain that one or more of these blogs will answer your question. This is probably the best most informative website on the net and I read it on a dailey basis. Hope you find your answer.
